The MAGA billionaires who own CBS news killed this 60 Minutes expose on the El Salvador torture prison that Trump illegally disappeared innocent people to. They tried to bury this story, but a Canadian affiliate accidentally aired it as planned, so now you can watch a recording of it here:

Hey, @governorferguson.bsky.social @atg.wa.gov, how do we go about getting this here in WA state?

#WALeg should follow Illinois' lead in the 2026 session & pass similar laws to: - Ban civil immigration arrests at or near courthouses - Limit data sharing with ICE and raids on schools & hospitals - Give regular people the right to sue federal agencies for unlawful arrests/civil rights violations

The same MAGA GOP fighting the release of the Epstein files are also fighting to pass laws giving them control over vulnerable children. It's no coincidence these weirdos want to require kids to undergo genital checks to play school sports. Help stop them in WA: actionnetwork.org/forms/pledge...

Brian Heywood's quest to force invasive, mandatory genital inspections on underage girls in our state has help from a new dark money group. "Washington Rising" has no contact info on their site, their donation uses an address in Tennessee, and they aren't registered as a political committee in WA.

Force these dark money groups into the daylight!

Early Sunday morning, a driver struck and killed a 38-year-old named Allie who was biking across Beacon Ave S. The driver fled the scene. As a lifelong cyclist who’s had my share of close calls, my heart goes out to Allie’s family and friends.

Even with all of Trump's threats, state GOPs are starting to realize that the MAGA brand is now toxic, and that giving into the MAGA agenda will only bring their own ruin. Trump is growing weaker by the day, as Dems put up huge gains in special elections and his polls collapse.

We want an economy that works for working people! RSVP for progressive revenue lobby day on Jan. 26: balanceourtaxcode.com/take-action/

Today, MAGA Republicans in the Senate blocked the Democratic proposal to fund the tax credits that keep health care affordable for working people. Washington families are facing monthly cost increases of hundreds or even thousands of dollars thanks to the votes of the MAGA majority.

MAGAZINER: How many veterans have you deported? NOEM: We haven't deported veterans MAGAZINER: We are now joined on Zoom by a combat veteran you deported to Korea

Washington National Guard Commander Maj. Gen. Gent Welsh says more than 300 members will be deployed by the end of Thursday to assist in the response to historic flooding across the state, following Gov. Ferguson's emergency declaration.

We anticipate potentially 100,000 Washingtonians facing evacuation orders. The situation is fluid and changing all the time. We expect rivers to hit historic levels as early as 4 a.m. tomorrow, lasting into Friday morning.

Here's what Tumwater Falls looks like today. There’s flood warnings and watches all over the state with 26 rivers at risk of flooding. Make sure you’re following weather alerts near you. Put your ZIP code in at weather.gov to find the latest.

16 years later, the GOP's health care "plan" is still the same: give billions in tax breaks to their insurance CEO donors, while jacking up costs on working families. Gutting health care subsidies & tax credits this year WAS their plan. That's why they can't & won't come up with anything else.

There's a lot of chatter about revenue and it's going to be a hot topic this session - if you have questions, join in!

This is an important #WALeg bill from Sen. Javier Valdez and Rep. Julio Cortes to unmask ICE agents and other MAGA minions sent to violate our freedoms in Washington. washingtonstatestandard.com/2025/12/08/b...

More reporting confirming what we already knew, and reinforcing why it's so important that @secstatewa.bsky.social stand strong against these MAGA attacks on our freedom to vote:

DHS is saying this is a lie. My response? They have no credibility. This is not what I'm hearing from the community. This spokesperson is a miserable propagandist and proven liar, so there's no reason for anyone to believe her. I want proof that Jose is unharmed & being treated with basic dignity.

The reduction in wait times for Designated Crisis Responders is good news for our mental health system in King County, and the next step is building out crisis centers and mobile crisis response teams to prevent people from needing involuntary treatment in the first place.

Not content with raising our health insurance costs, now MAGA Republicans are planning to kick thousands of Washingtonians off of Medicare using AI made by corporations who *get paid more if they kick more people off* 😡 This will raise costs for working families & hospitals in our state.

Two weeks ago at a press conference, Jorge Torres (2024 WA School Counselor of the Year) said Brian Heywood's initiatives would undermine the work of school counselors to support all students. Decline to sign these dangerous initiatives. Take the pledge here: bit.ly/WFFDecline

After just over a year of bargaining, union employees at The Stranger, the Portland Mercury, EverOut, and Bold Type Tickets have just ratified their first-ever contract! 🥳 🎉 🥳 🎉

Exactly 👇👇👇

We don't need to pretend to believe there's some valid reason for this, we know why Trump wants our private voter data: to take away our freedom to vote by attacking our best-in-the-nation vote by mail system. Washington shouldn't give him a goddamn thing.

Kate Telis joined Spokane City Council this week after her victory last month to fill the vacant seat in District 2. She will now likely cast one of the upcoming votes to ban corporate algorithmic rent fixing! Can't wait to see what the council can achieve once Sarah Dixit joins them in January ❤️

The Trump administration just pardoned and released a convicted Honduran drug lord from prison—a guy who is responsible for bringing literal tons of cocaine into the U.S. I cannot say this enough: this is the most corrupt administration in American history.

Washington State Sen. Sharon Shewmake has announced she will not run for reelection in 2026. (via @cascadiadaily.com) washingtonstatestandard.com/2025/12/01/w...

This is OUR tax dollars, being withheld from helping OUR communities, by a corrupt regime who only wants to line the pockets of their wealthy backers. It's on #WALeg now to tax Trump's donors & the wealthy few to pay for the disaster assistance we're owed.

These numbers from the Whatcom Council of Governments on how much tourism from Canada has cratered since Trump took office are brutal. Our neighbors to the north in B.C. are understandably responding to MAGA tariffs and threats by boycotting the U.S. www.theolympian.com/news/state/w...

At a press conference today, police detective Elizabeth Wareing slammed Brian Heywood's latest dangerous initiatives, saying that the mandatory genital inspections Heywood wants would allow sexual predators more power and access to young children. Protect kids, decline to sign IL26-001/IL26-638.

Turns out we were right not to let Amazon be the fourth branch of our government!

When Amazon 1st announced they would open a 2nd HQ outside of Seattle, the usual WA conservatives gloated that progressives making wealthy corporations pay what they owe in taxes had backfired. Flash forward 8 years and Amazon's HQ2 is a bust & Seattle's Jumpstart tax is keeping our services afloat

On #TransDayOfRemembrance, we honor our trans siblings lost to fatal violence and their impact. We will not stop fighting until trans people are not just able to survive, but thrive and live safe, full, and joyful lives. May our collective grief, reflection, and action lead to a better future.

Katie Wilson has a personal understanding of the rising costs that are burdening working people in Seattle. What's more, her extensive experience fighting for change at City Hall means she has clear plans to fix this. That's why editorial boards owned by wealthy conservatives are so afraid of her.

In case you missed it on our Instagram, we published a wrap up of all the high-profile races in the Washington election this year! Also please just mentally update the Katie Wilson number we show to 2,029, we made this last week 😅

That's my state senator!!

The "Revenue Queen" herself, progressive leader @noelframe.bsky.social, has plans to fight for a tax on $50M+ Wall St profits again in next year's #WALeg session! With MAGA gutting our essential services to give tax cuts to their wealthy donors, it's up to WA to make them pay what they owe in taxes

The MAGA masked agents abducting working people are tearing apart families, destroying communities, and making us all less safe by arresting wildland firefighters in the middle of fighting a fire that threatened Washington lives & homes. Trump hates hardworking people who care for others.

Way to go, Spokane 👏 #spokane #pnw #washingtonstate
